    Even funnier, Yandex CEO fled to Israel after the SMO started.

    But it is true that Yandex has way less censorship than Google. A while back I was looking for an old Politico article about AOC firing her chief of staff and replacing him with a Kamala Harris foreign policy aide. The article had been readily searchable for years on Google, until recently. I eventually got frustrated and tried my luck with Yandex, and lo and behold it came up immediately.

      Citing the fact that she does not want to live under a state that exhibits aggression to its neighbours, no less.

        I follow a Russian girl on Instagram.

        In August 2023, she made a post from Tel Aviv: “I am finally in a country that is happy and peaceful”

        The next post in December 2023 showed that she already went back to Moscow and has been there since.
